Thank you for the great review. Glad you enjoyed the amazing views, natural light, and the beautiful outdoor space. Happy the hot tub was clean and the kayaks were so much fun. We appreciate you staying with us and would welcome you back.
The house was beautiful with a great view of the lake. The house was clean and as advertised! It was cold during our stay so we didnt get to enjoy the lake but the indoor fireplace and board games were great. Easy to get to and i would definitely stay again when we’re at the lakes. The host was very responsive to questions and loved the extra touch of the coffee bar.

Thank you for your wonderful review, Laura! We're pleased to hear that you found the house beautiful and clean, and that you enjoyed the fireplace and board games despite the cold. It's great to know you appreciated the coffee bar and our responsiveness. We’d be happy to welcome you back for another stay when you visit the lakes again!
This is a lovely property! We so enjoyed our stay. House is well maintained, decor is soothing, view is top notch. Close to restaurants, but has everything you need to prepare meals on site. We will come back!
My husband and I, along with our infant, had a lovely stay. There was plenty of space, sound machines and monitors and a playpen already on location. The house was quiet with beautiful views. Would definitely book again.

Thank you for your kind review, Jamie! We're pleased to hear that you and your family had a lovely stay and found everything you needed for your infant. The quiet atmosphere and beautiful views truly make for a relaxing getaway. We look forward to welcoming you back!
The host or property manager was very responsive. Unfortunately the hot tub was in terrible condition when we arrived. They did make several attempts to fix it but it never got to a usable condition while we were there. They gave us a 50 to make up for it. Everything else was good.
Our overall stay was more than expected. They provide basically everything such as toiletry just in case you forget. They provide coffee for all the coffee lovers. The snow was so beautiful on the lake. A must stay again!
Enjoyed throughout our stay. Lots of natural light. The couch was very comfortable. We had a nice walk to the nearby ice cream place called Biggins Big Dip. They were delicious. Great communication with the staff. We had a minor issue and they took care of it right away.

Thank you for your review, Elisa! We're happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the natural light and comfort of the couch. It's great that you found a local gem for ice cream and that our team was able to assist you promptly. We hope to welcome you back soon!
Don’t look at online images of this property - the VRBO pictures match the remodeled house. I don’t agree with some things in the listing but it is a fantastic property and we would certainly rent it again.
The home is beautiful and spotless! This property exceeds expectations. Plenty of space indoor and out.
The driveway can accommodate 3 cars and the street is very narrow so keep that in mind.
Host was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Will probably stay again next year.
Great location for our leadership team to plan an upcoming retreat weekend. Secluded & peaceful area. Nice location off of the lake with close access to restaurants & grocery stores. We would recommend providing additional blankets if you plan to do more rentals during the winter months. Luckily we were all local to NE Ohio, so we were able to bring some with us, but for anyone traveling by air, this would be problematic.
This vacation rental is wonderful. The house is beautifully appointed, very clean and incredibly comfortable. With 8 of us ladies there to celebrate our trip around the sun, it was the perfect house and location. We never felt cramped. There were many places to congregate including the deck and the solo stove on the patio. The views from the deck, especially at night were peaceful, beautiful and relaxing. It’s close to a beach and the Akron city scene and restaurants, but mostly we loved hanging around the house.
We felt the space was very good and neat. Enjoyed the facility and lake views from our house. Wish there would have been a chest of drawers or closet to hang/ place clothes. We had to live out of the suitcase. Showers were large and bathrooms were great.
Cons: Communication was only through the IPad so it took some time to get the light issues resolved. We never got the code for the washer and dryer. The windows of the sliding glass doors and the kitchen were dirty. Especially noticeable when the sun was shining.
